EarthCam's new Map Search has been re-designed to create a more user-friendly navigation for searching the world of live cameras. Through the use of the interactive flash map, users can click on any of 28 featured time zones in order to return a search of all the countries within the chosen time zone that have cameras listed within the EarthCam database. From there, guests to the site simply select a country in order to see all the cities available to choose from. With the search narrowed down to a listing of cities, the user can pick the city of their choice to see all the cameras available for them to view.
